Cisco Unified Presence Installation Guide

CUP Overview
Cisco Unified Presence (CUP) enables clients to perform
functions such as presence, instant messaging, phone
control, click to call, voice, video, visual voicemail, and
web collaboration. CUP integrates with Cisco and
third-party endpoints.
Later in this document, we will install and configure
Cisco Jabber which provides access to these CUP
features through a single client.

Installation Overview
In this installation guide, we will install CUP on the ACME network. We will perform LDAP integration with CUCM and
CUP into the ACME AD environment, allowing a single directory and authentication method for all users.
We will also configure Jabber to provide CTI Phone Control and access to other CUP features.

Download Jabber from CCO and install on your desktop
Downloads Home > Products > Voice and Unified Communications > Unified Communications Applications > Unified Communications
Clients > Cisco Jabber for Windows

http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/type.html?mdfid=284324806&catid=null

Install Jabber for iPhone

1. Jabber for iPhone Overview
Cisco Jabber for iPhone provides users with VoIP calling, visual voicemail, and access to the corporate directory from an
iOS device. Features of Cisco Jabber for iPhone allow you to:

Place and receive CUCM calls using your mobile device while Cisco Jabber is connected to the network

Morgan Stepp CCIE #12603 | morganstepp@yahoo.com

Page 8 of 11

Have multiple VoIP calls (call waiting, add new call, swap between active calls)
Use many of the standard in-call features that Unified CM provides, including hold, transfer, and conference
Connect automatically to the VPN if the corporate Wi-Fi network is not directly available
Transfer an active Cisco Jabber VoIP call from your device to your desk phone and vice versa
Transfer an active Cisco Jabber VoIP call to your mobile network
Dial numbers by raising the iPhone to the ear and speaking the name of the person to call
Search the corporate directory
Access voicemail through a visual list
Run the application in the background, and automatically register to Unified CM when available, and remain ready to
receive calls to the work phone number
Open an IM session with Cisco Jabber contacts

2. Prepare CUCM for Jabber with iPhone

A. Install Cisco Options Package file for devices (CUCM 8.5 and earlier)
COP supported in CUCM 7.1.5 and later. To make Cisco Jabber available as a device in Unified CM, you must install a
device-specific Cisco Options Package (COP) file on all your Unified CM servers. Login to CCO and download the latest
COP file such as cmterm-iphone-install-111019.cop.sgn or later. Next, within CUCM OS Administration, select Software
Upgrades > Install/Upgrade.
Downloads Home > Products > Voice and Unified Communications > Unified Communications Applications > Unified
Communications Mobility > Cisco Jabber for iPhone
http://www.cisco.com/go/jabber_iphone_cop
B. Configure Dial rules
Jabber for iPhone uses two sets of dial rules to make it easier for users to dial
phone numbers from their iPhone. Because people are accustomed to dialing
numbers differently from a mobile device than from a desk phone, consider
setting up Unified CM to accommodate the different number patterns that
mobile device users dial.
C. Configure SIP Dual Mode Alert Timer
Increase the SIP Dual Mode Alert Timer to ensure that calls to the Cisco Jabber
extension are not prematurely routed to the mobile-network phone number.
Select System > Service Parameters > CUCM Pub > Cisco CallManager (Active)
service
Scroll to the Clusterwide Parameters (System - Mobility) section
Increase the SIP Dual Mode Alert Time to 3000 milliseconds
D. Configure dedicated SIP profile
Create a dedicated SIP Profile that allows Cisco Jabber to stay connected to
Unified CM while Cisco Jabber is running in the background.
Device > Device Settings > SIP Profile
Create a new SIP profile, such as iPhone SIP profile

Morgan Stepp CCIE #12603 | morganstepp@yahoo.com

Page 9 of 11

In the new SIP profile, set the following values to 660:

* Timer Register Expires
* Timer Keep Alive Expires
* Timer Subscribe Expires
E. Add User Device to CUCM
Add a new phone to CUCM to represent the iPhone
Device > Phone > Add New > Cisco Dual Mode for iPhone
The device name can be a combination of up to 15 numbers or uppercase letters and it must begin with TCT. Assign
the SIP profile created above. On the line appearance, set the No Answer Ring Duration timer to 24 seconds. Associate
this device to the appropriate end user as a controlled device.
2. Install Jabber on your iPhone
Access the App Store from within iTunes or use the App Store application on the iOS device. When you search for Cisco
Jabber, be sure to distinguish Cisco Jabber from Cisco Jabber IM. After installation, restart your iPhone.
2. Configure Jabber for iPhone and Login
Ensure the phone is connected to the corporate Wi-Fi. Launch Cisco Jabber and complete the setup wizard. Enter the
Device Name (TCTXXXX) and the IP address of your TFTP server (generally the IP address of your Unified CM server) of
the device you just added. Test basic telephony features in Cisco Jabber, such as the ability to make, hold, and transfer
calls.
